There is no part of this diatribe that is not amazing or 100% true.

SAY IT AGAIN FOR ALL TO HEAR

The line I saw a while ago that seems relevant: “There is no such thing as unskilled labor, only undervalued skills.”

I can’t find a counterexample.

As someone that’s worked several years in retail I can confirm this is beyond true and accurate.

I worked retail for 9 years, and when I left I was a merchandise manager who got paid $12.50 and hour. That’s right, I was a manager who got paid what amounts to $22,000-24,000 for the year. That’s below the poverty line.

I would keep my phone on me to count my steps, and routinely would get between 11,000-13,000 steps in an 8 hour shift.

The minimum wage needs an increase bad. That is all

“Jessica Jones was really an exploration of a survivor and her healing, to the degree that she does in facing those demons quite literally. With rape, I think we all know what that looks like. We’ve seen plenty of it on television and I didn’t have any need to see it, but I wanted to experience the damage that it does. I wanted the audience to really viscerally feel the scars that it leaves. It was not important to me, on any level, to actually see it. TV has plenty of that, way too often, used as titillation, which is horrifying.” -Melissa Rosenberg

For private business prison labor is like a pot of gold. No strikes. No union organizing. No health benefits, unemployment insurance, or workers’ compensation to pay. No language barriers, as in foreign countries. New leviathan prisons are being built on thousands of eerie acres of factories inside the walls. Prisoners do data entry for Chevron, make telephone reservations for TWA, raise hogs, shovel manure, and make circuit boards, limosines, waterbeds, and lingerie for Victoria’s Secret, all at a fraction of the cost of ‘free labor’.

Lawmakers Offer ‘Prayers’ For Mass Shooting Victims, Receive Large Checks From The NRA

Following Wednesday afternoon’s mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, which left at least 14 people dead, numerous lawmakers tweeted their “thoughts and prayers” to the victims of the gruesome tragedy. But many of the same congresspeople who were quick to publicly register their feelings about the 352nd mass shooting this year, received thousands of dollars from the National Rifle Association and voted against sensible gun reforms like expanding background checks to more gun purchases.

Same as it ever was.

This is why nothing will happen to address gun violence in America.

Fuck the NRA.

This is everything I’ve ever felt when there’s an option to superimpose any kind of flag or image on your fb profile picture. It’s passive solidarity, and I’m just not into that
